Hi,I am trying to figure out which services to monitor on a remote DP only server to determine if sccm can access that server if everything else is up and running properly.

What services does SCCM use to determine if a remote DP is accessable and available?

Thanks for the reply...

On the DP properties, you can enable the "Content Validation" option. This should validate the health of your DP.

I'd start with WMI, remote registry, IIS and server service. 

Moreover, you could monitor ConfigMgr components via OpsMgr 2012

Or at least look at the OpsMgr management pack to see what it's monitoring and do the same if you don't have OpsMgr in place (although I do highly recommend that you do use it).

Thank you all for the replies.  The information is extremely helpful...
